Explanation:

Question (First one: Which of these is not considered connective tissue?)

Connective tissues include blood (fluid connective tissue), adipose (loose connective tissue), and cartilage (supportive connective tissue). Muscle tissue is a separate tissue type (muscular tissue) involved in movement, not connective tissue.

Blood is a fluid connective tissue as it has cells (like red blood cells) suspended in a matrix (plasma) and functions in connection, support, and transport, fitting the connective tissue definition.

Blood transports nutrients, oxygen, waste, etc., in the cardiovascular system. Dense irregular/regular connective tissue, adipose, and areolar have other functions (support, insulation, etc.) not primary transport for cardiovascular.

Answer:

A. muscle
